Huge Fire at US Military Base in South Korea
newsweek ^ | 10-24-24 | Billal Rahman

A fire broke out at a U.S. military base in South Korea, with dramatic footage showing flames ripping through a large building as firefighters battled the blaze.

The cause of the fire at Busan Naval Base is unknown, but it is understood to have begun at 6.30 p.m. local time on Thursday, according to media reports.

The U.S. military is stationed in South Korea to deter aggression against the republic and help ensure stability in Asia. It regularly conducts joint exercises with Seoul's forces.

Snip

An official from the Busan Fire and Disaster Headquarters said in a statement: "Due to the nature of the supply depot, a large amount of military supplies are stored, so if a fire spreads to a nearby warehouse, it can lead to a dizzying situation," adding, "We are working with the U.S. military's fire brigade to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent warehouses."

“I wouldn’t be surprised if the norks were responsible for the fire.”

More likely the Neocons, as a pretext to attack North Korea, now that their other ‘projects’ are bombing.

Fomerly known as Pusan before some of the Asian countries decided to change the names of their cities and the liberal press jumped on board.

Meanwhile, a large country in Europe is never referred to in the western press by its real name.

Microaggressions against while folks - it’s real.

North Korean troops in Russia are being trained to use stealthy drones and soon will be deployed by the Russians in the Ukraine war. They will obtain not only expertise but combat experience deploying these weapons. Stationery targets in South Korea such as airfields, arms depots and docked ships are very vulnerable. Also would not be suprised if Iran contracts with experieced NK drone teams to operate in the Mideast. The North Koreans need money badly and would no doubt be very willing to sign on as de facto mercinaries. These drones are being rapidly innovated and improved. They are changing the nature or warfare and creating new challenges.

Suomi? Magyarország? Shqipëria? Turkiye? Deutschland? Eire? Espana? Rossiya? Polska?

Also the Chinese PLA are there fighting for Russia as “mercenaries”, gaining experience for the Chinese military as well.

I wouldn’t be surprised if senior bureaucrats at the Pentagon were responsible...

If you’ve already leaked classified battle field intelligence with no repercussions, why not burn some military supplies?
